Nothing Lasts — текст песни (Steve Miller)

All the things you think and say

Float away into space

Done in thought or done in haste

They have no place, they leave no trace



All the things you think and do

Have become a part of you

All your deeds have come to pass

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts



Like a river flowing past your windowpane

Lifes never the same

Like the sun youre born to set

Youll die in sin

And be born once again



Now you know, so damn well

That your life is a heaven and a hell

And its very easy to tell

When youre sick and when youre well



So the secret to this life

Is so very easy to learn

If you ever love another

Never ask for anything in return



Like a river flowing past your windowpane

Lifes never the same

Like the sun youre born to set

Youll die in sin

And be born once again



All the things you think and say

Float away into space

Done in thought or done in haste

They have no place, they leave no trace



All the things you think and do

Have become a part of you

All your deeds have come to pass

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
